1. |  Linux System Programming, 1st Edition By: Robert Love Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 18-SEP-2007 Insert Date: 16-OCT-2007 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Linux System Programming, 1st Edition
This book is about writing software that makes the most effective
use of the system you're running on -- code that interfaces
directly with the kernel and core system libraries, including the
shell, text editor, compiler, debugger, core utilities, and system
daemons. The majority of both Unix and Linux code is still written
at the system level, and Linux System Programming focuses
on everything above the kernel, where applications such as Apache,
bash, cp, vim, Emacs, gcc, gdb, glibc, ls, mv, and X exist.
Written primarily for engineers looking to program (better) at the
low level, this...

2. |  Understanding Linux Network Internals Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 29-DEC-2005 Insert Date: 10-JAN-2006 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Understanding Linux Network Internals
If you've ever wondered how Linux carries out the complicated tasks
assigned to it by the IP protocols -- or if you just want to learn
about modern networking through real-life examples --
Understanding Linux Network Internals is for you.
Like the popular O'Reilly book, Understanding the Linux
Kernel, this book clearly explains the underlying concepts and
teaches you how to follow the actual C code that implements it.
Although some background in the TCP/IP protocols is helpful, you
can learn a great deal from this text about the protocols
themselves and their uses. And if you already have a...

3. |  Understanding the Linux Kernel, 3rd Edition By: Daniel P. Bovet; Marco Cesati Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 17-NOV-2005 Insert Date: 31-DEC-2005 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Understanding the Linux Kernel, 3rd Edition
In order to thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it
works so well on a wide variety of systems, you need to delve deep
into the heart of the kernel. The kernel handles all interactions
between the CPU and the external world, and determines which
programs will share processor time, in what order. It manages
limited memory so well that hundreds of processes can share the
system efficiently, and expertly organizes data transfers so that
the CPU isn't kept waiting any longer than necessary for the
relatively slow disks.
The third edition of Understanding the Linux Kernel takes
you...

4. |  Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition By: Jonathan Corbet; Alessandro Rubini; Greg Kroah-Hartman Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 07-FEB-2005 Insert Date: 01-MAR-2005 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition
Device drivers literally drive everything you're interested
in--disks, monitors, keyboards, modems--everything outside the
computer chip and memory. And writing device drivers is one of the
few areas of programming for the Linux operating system that calls
for unique, Linux-specific knowledge. For years now, programmers
have relied on the classic Linux Device Drivers from
O'Reilly to master this critical subject. Now in its third edition,
this bestselling guide provides all the information you'll need to
write drivers for a wide range of devices. Over the years the book
has helped countless...

5. |  Building Embedded Linux Systems By: Karim Yaghmour Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 22-APR-2003 Insert Date: 10-MAY-2003 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Building Embedded Linux Systems
Linux® is being adopted by an increasing number of embedded systems
developers, who have been won over by its sophisticated scheduling
and networking, its cost-free license, its open development model,
and the support offered by rich and powerful programming tools.
While there is a great deal of hype surrounding the use of Linux in
embedded systems, there is not a lot of practical information.
Building Embedded Linux Systems is the first in-depth,
hard-core guide to putting together an embedded system based on the
Linux kernel. This indispensable book features arcane and
previously...

6. |  Understanding the Linux Kernel, 2nd Edition By: Daniel P. Bovet; Marco Cesati Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 17-DEC-2002 Insert Date: 12-FEB-2003 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Understanding the Linux Kernel, 2nd Edition
To thoroughly understand what makes Linux tick and why it's so
efficient, you need to delve deep into the heart of the operating
system--into the Linux kernel itself. The kernel is Linux--in the
case of the Linux operating system, it's the only bit of software
to which the term "Linux" applies. The kernel handles all the
requests or completed I/O operations and determines which programs
will share its processing time, and in what order. Responsible for
the sophisticated memory management of the whole system, the Linux
kernel is the force behind the legendary Linux efficiency. The new
edition...

7. |  Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 15-FEB-1998 Insert Date: 26-SEP-2002 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Linux Device Drivers
This book is for anyone who wants to support computer peripherals
under the Linux operating system or who wants to develop new
hardware and run it under Linux. Linux is the fastest-growing
segment of the UNIX market and is winning over enthusiastic
adherents in many application areas. This book reveals information
that heretofore has been passed by word-of-mouth or in cryptic
source code comments, showing how to write a driver for a wide
range of devices. You don't have to be a kernel hacker to
understand and enjoy this book; all you need is an understanding of
C and some background in UNIX...

8. |  Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition By: Alessandro Rubini; Jonathan Corbet Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 25-JUN-2001 Insert Date: 26-SEP-2002 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Linux Device Drivers, 2nd Edition
This book is for anyone who wants to support computer peripherals
under the Linux operating system or who wants to develop new
hardware and run it under Linux. Linux is the fastest-growing
segment of the Unix market, is winning over enthusiastic adherents
in many application areas, and is being viewed more and more as a
good platform for embedded systems. Linux Device Drivers,
already a classic in its second edition, reveals information that
heretofore has been shared by word of mouth or in cryptic source
code comments, on how to write drivers for a wide range of devices.
Version 2.4 of the...

9. |  Understanding the Linux Kernel By: Daniel P. Bovet; Marco Cesati Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Publication Date: 01-OCT-2000 Insert Date: 26-SEP-2002 Bookshelf Slots: 1.0 | Overview: Understanding the Linux Kernel
Why is Linux so efficient? Is it the right operating system for a
particular application? What can be learned from looking at the
kernel source code? These are the kinds of questions that
Understanding the Linux Kernel takes in stride in this
guided tour of the code that forms the core of all Linux operating
systems. Linux is presented too often as a casual hacker
experiment. It has increasingly become not only a mission-critical
part of many organizations, but a sophisticated display of
programming skill. It incorporates many advanced operating system
concepts and has proven itself...
